Humble by Nature

Graham Waddington

Graham owns and co-runs Native Breeds, a small artisan charcuterie in Gloucestershire.  He is one of the few specialists in Britain who are expert in the curing, fermenting and air-drying of meat, having co-founded the awrd-winning Trealy Farm Charcuterie with James Swift.  Graham had an extensive apprenticeship in Spain, Germany and Sardinia working with some of Europe’s finest ham and salami makers.  As a result he is an expert in traditional and contemporary charcuterie practices from Britain and Europe.

Graham can produce a repertoire of charcuterie including air dried hams, salami, cooked specialities (such as Kassler, Cotechino), smoked delicacies, savoury puddings and confit.  He also runs training courses and consultancy for chefs, caterers and charcuterie/food enthusiasts alike.
